The new key art for ABC's veteran medical drama puts Mer (Ellen&nbsp;Pompeo) front and center and promotes what&nbsp;showrunner&nbsp;Shonda&nbsp;Rhimes&nbsp;has dubbed a "Meredith-centric season."
The poster, exclusive to&nbsp;The Hollywood Reporter,&nbsp;also comes with the show's new tagline: "The life you save may be your own." That could point to Meredith learning that, as&nbsp;Cristina&nbsp;(Sandra Oh)&nbsp;told her, that she &mdash; and not&nbsp;McDreamy&nbsp;is the "sun."
Season 11 will pick up with the married couple still at an impasse on their future, as Derek (Patrick Dempsey) wants wants go to Washington while Mer opts to remain in Seattle. Watch the&nbsp;first season 11 footage&nbsp;featuring their tense confrontation here.
"The idea that Derek thinks his career is more important than Meredith's is both true for him and frustrating for her,"&nbsp;Rhimes&nbsp;told&nbsp;THR&nbsp;in July. "It doesn't make him a bad person because his career is more important than hers right now. The idea that she has set back her career to deal with the kids and let him shine is also very frustrating for her as well. She's got a chance to step forward and say, 'I'm not going to do that anymore.'
"Whether she's right or wrong is also an argument to be had," she added. "I think it's a really great conversation that a lot of people are having in this moment in time with their career and their spouses. I think it's true and what happens next is going to be very interesting. Who gets resentful and who feels cheated is also going to be interesting. Does he go or does he stay? What happens if she goes, too? Are we going to have a show in which Meredith and Derek are in Washington and everybody else is here? We have the sets; we could do it. We've talked about it."

f57cd3684e70a9efe00974614680b26c?>Meredith can't move to Washington, D.C. on 'Grey's Anatomy' because...Fri, 15 Aug 2014 13:39:20 +0000Now that most of the Fab Five have left Grey Sloan Memorial, it seems the time could be ripe for Meredith to finally move on from the hospital she&rsquo;s called home for the last 10 seasons of&nbsp;Grey&rsquo;s Anatomy&mdash;despite telling Derek she didn&rsquo;t want to move to Washington, D.C. in the season finale. However, Ellen Pompeo thinks there&rsquo;s a very plausible reason why Meredith cannot follow her husband to Capitol Hill.
&ldquo;Obviously, Meredith and Derek can&rsquo;t go anywhere, because the show can&rsquo;t be in Washington, because then I would know that my parents are really alive and living in the White House and that might piss Meredith off if she goes and sees that Ellis and Thatcher both faked their deaths,&rdquo; Pompeo tells&nbsp;EW&nbsp;with a hearty laugh.
The actress is, of course, referring to&nbsp;Grey&rsquo;s&nbsp;alums Kate Burton and Jeff Perry both starring on one of executive producer Shonda Rhimes&rsquo; other Thursday night dramas,Scandal, which is not set in the same universe as the ABC medical drama and its spin-off&nbsp;Private Practice. (For the record, Burton will reprise her role as the late Ellis Grey in the season premiere to help unfold the mystery behind Mer&rsquo;s new half-sister.)
In all seriousness, the question of how Mer and Der will handle their differing opinions when it comes to moving to D.C. won&rsquo;t be dragged out for very long. &ldquo;That situation is going to be resolved rather quickly,&rdquo; Pompeo added. However it all pans out, fans shouldn&rsquo;t be too worried: They&rsquo;re not going to&nbsp;end their marriage&nbsp;over it.

e5aa6958a53715bf743ff5ca4ed8407c?>Spoiler: Meredith and Alex ScoopThu, 14 Aug 2014 13:56:48 +0000File this one under &ldquo;Grey&rsquo;s Anatomy&lsquo;s Triangles We Never Thought We&rsquo;d See.&rdquo;
Series creator Shonda Rhimes tells TVLine that, in Season 11, Meredith, of all people &mdash; yes,&nbsp;Meredith,&nbsp;that&nbsp;Meredith &mdash; is going to throw a monkey wrench into Alex and Jo&rsquo;s still-nascent romance.
&ldquo;Jo is going to be horrified to discover how much time Alex is going to be spending with Meredith,&rdquo; she previews, &ldquo;and how much time Meredith is going to be spending [at their] house.&rdquo;
And, no doubt, Jo will ask the same question we have:&nbsp;Why&nbsp;is this happening? Why, when the drama returns on Sept. 25, will Alex and Mer be joined at the hip? The answer: Cristina.
&ldquo;Alex feels responsible for her,&rdquo; Rhimes explains. &ldquo;He feels like Cristina didn&rsquo;t just leave him a seat on the board and the shares, she left him Meredith as well.&rdquo;
And, since Mer will not only be dealing with Cristina&rsquo;s absence and trouble with Derek but also (eventually) the revelation that she has another half sister, she&nbsp;isgoing to need a (strictly platonic) shoulder to lean on and an ear to bend.
&ldquo;The two people she talked to before &mdash; her husband and her best friend &mdash; are now not available to her,&rdquo; notes Rhimes. &ldquo;So she&rsquo;s looking for someone to talk to. And Alex finds himself in the uncomfortable position of being the recipient of a lot of the stuff that Cristina would have been left listening to &mdash; sometimes in very funny ways.
&ldquo;They&rsquo;re the last men standing of those original interns,&rdquo; Rhimes continues. &ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t say they&rsquo;re becoming besties. [It&rsquo;s more that] they&rsquo;ve always had a very close relationship that didn&rsquo;t ever need a lot of work because they always had a million other people there.&nbsp;Now, it&rsquo;s sort of the two of them, and they&nbsp;do&nbsp;become closer.&rdquo;http://www.meredith-and-derek.com/news/696
09cd99ec55df2fa875ba334a9c239b6b?>Spoiler: Meredith and Derek in Season 11Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:01:38 +0000Could Mer and Der&nbsp;be on the road to a huge breakup?
When we left the couple&nbsp;in the last&nbsp;Grey&rsquo;s Anatomyfinale, Meredith finally stood up for herself, telling Derek that she doesn&rsquo;t want to move to Washington, D.C.&mdash;where he had been&nbsp;offered a full-time position by POTUS. (Not&nbsp;Scandal&rsquo;s Fitz, but we can still dream!)
And in season 11&mdash;being dubbed &ldquo;The Year of Meredith&rdquo;&mdash;the stalwart doc will no longer take a backseat to her husband&rsquo;s career, which may cause strife in their relationship. However, executive producer Shonda Rhimes promises that this doesn&rsquo;t mean&nbsp;the end of everyone&rsquo;s favorite McCouple.
&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think that it&rsquo;s a marriage-ending argument,&rdquo; Rhimes tells&nbsp;EW. &ldquo;It feels very TV for people&rsquo;s marriages to end over easy things or hard things. I actually would like to watch a couple have a hard time in their marriage, and have it not be that that means their marriage is over. There&rsquo;s something really great about watching a couple have a mature marriage where stuff goes wrong, things are hard, and people try to push through it and figure it out.&rdquo;
That&nbsp;being said, expect to find Meredith and Derek in a rough place when season 11 kicks off next month. &ldquo;When we left them, they were fighting. When we come back, they&rsquo;re still fighting,&rdquo; Rhimes says. &ldquo;I like that they&rsquo;re having this argument. It feels like an argument that two hard-working people have who love each other and who each have powerful careers.&rdquo;
